The Last Station

Descriere

Reviews:
By 1910, Leo Tolstoy had become an almost religious figure, surrounded on his lavish estate by family and followers alike. Too ill to continue beyond the tiny station of Astapovo, he believes he is dying alone. This book centres on the battle for his soul waged by his wife and his leading disciple.


A richly inventive historical novel set in the last year of the life of Leo Tolstoy and centring on the battle for his soul waged between his wife, Sofya, and leading disciple, Vladimir Chertkov. Reviews were glowing, which should benefit this paperback edition. 'A stylish, beautifully paced and utterly beguiling novel' }Sunday Times{
